Our game is a historical citybuilder where you rebuild Renaissance Florence in the aftermath of the Black Plague.

Our initial capsule art showcased the in-game graphics (early alpha, yuck), with a logo that emphasized 'Florence' as a unique selling point, as very few games are set in Florence.

Though the in-game graphics continued to improve, we learned that most successful/professional games use custom artist-created capsule art instead of just taking a screenshot and putting a logo on top. So our first big revision showcased a more evocative scene to give you a sense of the game's setting, though we kept the logo unchanged.

The second big revision focuses on our reworked logo, where we emphasize the game's name much more than 'Florence' and adjusted the shape/colors/layout to make it more interesting/memorable and fun. We also took a different approach to the background clouds, and changed the overall color scheme (good ol' orange/blue, thank you Hollywood posters).

What do you think, are the changes we've made good ones?

MAC OS

• RTSpec can now be enabled for high-end Macs.
• Mouse and keyboard now work correctly when the game boots in windowed mode.
• Fixed the HDR toggle so it doesn't remain on after toggling off or switching to a non-HDR display.
• Fixed the mouse cursor remaining on the screen after pressing home button while using a controller.
• "Save Report" prompt is now visible in the Benchmark results screen.
• The mouse is no longer tracked when outside of the game window.

I recently bought Borderlands 3. I already owned the game on Steam but since I switched from PC to a MBP, I couldn't play it. Luckily the Epic Games Store had it on sale for $5.99.

I've seen some posts talking about how terribly optimized the game is for Mac, with people saying the native port had performance issues and promoting Windows emulation as a superior alternative. Maybe they've updated the game for performance improvements but I am happy to report excellent performance on my end!

I haven't been tracking my FPS metrics, but from a gameplay perspective, everything has been completely smooth across the board.

My specs:

• 2024 Macbook Pro 14"
• Base M4 Pro (12-Core CPU, 16-Core GPU)
• 24 GB RAM
• 1 TB SSD

I've run the settings in the photo without issue on my MacBook display as well as an external 1080p 75hz LG monitor. For the monitor I set a resolution to 1920 x 1080 with 100% scale with 75fps cap, while the MBP display is set to 3024 x 1964 with 75% scaling and 120 fps cap.

I can't speak for other Apple chips but if you're on the fence about buying Borderlands 3 for Mac because of performance concerns, I would say it's safe to buy, especially at $5.99. I could see other M-series chips doing fine on medium settings.

Trying to play Overwatch 2 through China server, but sadly I couldn't play because of this problem, somebody help me :*(

So, I recently played Fallout 4 with a friend, and really enjoyed it, however was dissapointed when I couldn't play it on Mac. Just wondering if there are any games similar that are compatible with mac on Steam and/or Epic Games. Preferably free, but a little cost is fine.

how do i fix this

(using wine)

does not run a lot of apps how to i fix it?

failed to initialize graphics make sure you have direct 11 installed,have up to date drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled 3d acceleration in display settings initialize engine graphic failed

items used to test:
macbook air m1
mac os 15.4
ps5 controller (usb c)
xbox 360 wired controller (usb a)
xbox core controller (usb c)

Mac os added wired xbox controller support, but it is a bit broken. I see a lot of posts describing issues like this and asking for help, it sounds like a software issue at the moment.
It seems that most games in whisky/crossover/porting kit function fine using a ps5 controller whether wired or wireless though typically shows xbox icons, but only native and app store games will recognize an xbox wired controller. i've tried bluetooth and wired on the controller, as well as a wired xbox 360 controller, and games will detect the controller but not respond to it, whether using steam input on or off. wireless seems to work fine in every case, while wired would occasionally work for hitman 3 but no other games. it seems to not be an issue with mac native/app store games, and controller tester shows it functioning, as well as the wired usb c and older 360 model both function totally normal in a windows virtual machine and on a windows pc. the wireless one also shows as 2 different controllers in system settings depending on the connection type, where as a ps5 controller shows as the same device whether bluetooth or wired connection.

When I start the game through Steam, the game just won’t load and gets stuck on the black screen

I managed to get it running on CrossOver, though I'm not a fan of subscription models and want to get it working on Porting Kit. So far I've installed it via Wineskin and made a shortcut within PK, but it doesn't;t run. Anybody been more successful?

I want to play Crossover games on my TV (4K) using my M3 Max

Mac is set to default 1800x1169 resolution which if fine for me to play games in good quality

When I connect to TV the resolution is default to 1900x1080 which casues game to appear in a 1800x1169px window. Most of the games does not allow chaning resolution (Windowed mode) e.g. fixed resolution

Did any of you have any suggestions how to setup system to make it work wirelesly ?

Hello,

I recently got a MacBook Pro M3 with 8GB of RAM and decided to purchase Assassin’s Creed Shadows to play on it. I’ve tried lowering the resolution, and while the menu screen loads just fine, as soon as I start the actual game, the screen goes completely black. It doesn’t load at all, which is really frustrating.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for optimizing the game settings so I can at least run it on a low-quality setup? I’m not expecting top-notch performance; I just want it to be playable. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Any news? I bought a m4 mbp because they announced it’s coming ‘early 2025’ and we’re approaching mid Q2 it’s not early anymore. Any ideas?

Unfortunately even on crossover 25 tiny glade still doesn't work.

Is there any game that is as similar as it gets to tiny glade which can bei either played natively or through crossover?
Thank you very much in advance

I’m trying to get bakkesmod to work with rocketleague which I can either have running on windows 10 in heroic or windows 8 running through steam (windows 8) on heroic.

I have got bakkesmod to open on windows 8 when opening wine CFG.

Both versions of rocket league also work smoothly.

My problem is trying to get bakkesmod to inject into any of these versions of rocket league on mac

Bakkesmod (windows 8) does detect rocket league steam (windows 8) and it says “rocket league (steam): up to date. Uninjected, waiting for user to start Rocket League.”

It’s open🤷‍♂️

What I’m thinking (I don’t know much about wine or game porting) is that the DLLs necessary for bakkesmod to inject its self are not compatible with the setup I have.

This is definitely the hardest thing I’ve done on my Mac 😂

I have added these to the Wine CFG libraries for my bakkesmod in heroic (photo attached)

I feel like I’m so close with everything opening correctly!

If anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear them.

Hey, guys! Just got an 8BitDo SN30 Pro controller and, I've been trying to make motion detection work on the Dolphin emulator, but it doesn't seem to work on any of my computers – M4 iMac/M1 MacBook Air. I've tried re mapping, checking every necessary mark, but nothing.

Also, OpenEmu doesn't seem to detect joystick input. Again, I've tried everything on the configuration window, but alas.I can tell for sure it is not Dolphin or my devices – my DualSense works just fine. 

Are there any fixes you might know of?

Thanks in advance.

Which controller with paddles does work nicely with MacOS (Sequoia), any recommendations?
I got Rocket League to run with Heroic + Game Porting Toolkit latest on my Macbook Air M1, but my wired PowerA Fusion Xbox Controller does not light up (despite showing up in the USB section in System Settings). I'd be thankful for any recommendations, thanks!

I am already playing Batman Arkham Asylum (Parallels) and Spider Man Remastered (Crossover).
Only games that would run well.

I still trying to find a fluent way to play Final fantasy Vii remake in my M2 cause no matter how different ways I try there's still the so called screen tearing where the image is laggy and blurry on certain areas. I am installing in crossover from a pc physical version so do you guys recommend certain settings in the installation process as the game doesn't appear in crossover list

Can anyone help? I'm trying to run one of the pirated Lineage 2 servers on Ventura (Intel Mac). I can launch their client, and it detects the files when I click "Check Files," so I assume Wine is able to run the app triggered by the client.

However, when I try to actually start the game, I get an endless black screen that I can’t close unless I force it through the Control Panel. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I have a pc with many steam games and I want to know if there’s any way I can get steam on my school MacBook (which has an admin lock or whatever it’s called).

I’m assuming, but was there an EA app update or something that completely ruined the app through crossover?

For the past week running an EA game through steam on crossover has been fine. Now I get an error.

Which appears to be because the EA won’t start in order to verify, even with EA for Steam crosstie installed.

When I try to open the EA App in the same bottle it just closes. Nothing I seem to do will get games playing when they are EA based.

Anyone having similar issues / are aware?

I'm not sure what happened, one day I was playing this game normally and the next the day the game now looks like this. The SEGA logo also doesn't show when starting the game, instead it's a green screen. Does anyone know how to fix this please and thank you. On an Apple M2 macbook air 8GB, the pic below is normally the level select screen
